What they do

Tesla picked Spinny as its preferred partner to take in petrol and diesel cars from people buying a Tesla in India

The tie-up is part of Tesla’s Switch and Save programme, which aims to make moving to an electric car simpler

Spinny links its car-selling service to the Tesla purchase, so the old car’s value goes toward the new one

Spinny buys, checks and resells used cars online and through its own car hubs.
Almost all revenue (about 98%) comes from selling cars; the rest from commissions, services and ads.
It also runs car loans, the GoMechanic servicing business and the Autocar India titles.

Customers: Individual car buyers and sellers, plus dealers and OEM partners.

What sets it apart: Certified inspection and a managed, end-to-end transaction experience.
Operations: Operates an inventory-backed and platform-assisted used-car retail network.
